Jiang Hao just walked off the bridge. He was carrying many things in his hands, as well as their suitcases. He couldn't outrun Qiao Xinwei, who was empty-handed. However, he didn't complain at all. When he saw his grandma, he was also smiling, "Grandma
OK, my name is Jiang Hao."
"Hey, hello, you're such a good-looking young man," the old man smiled from ear to ear, patted the back of Qiao Xinwei's hand and said, "This girl has such good eyesight...Jiang Hao, I have a bad temper and am careless in doing things."
, but the person is absolutely kind, you will definitely find the right one if you find her."
Qiao Xinwei felt embarrassed and said with a red face: "Grandma, why am I so bad-tempered? I am very serious about my work."
"Look, look, look, I just said a few words to you and you became anxious. Children have very bad tempers. Look at Jiang Hao, he looks more mature and steady than you. Don't bully others."
"How dare I bully him? Grandma, please don't praise him, he will be proud of you."
The grandfather and grandson couldn't stop talking when they met. They were so intimate that Jiang Hao didn't interrupt, even though he was sweating.
Grandma quickly said: "Come on, don't stand outside on this hot day. Come on, go home and say...Girl, help me get something for my uncle."
We were still some way away from my grandma’s house. As she walked, grandma said: “The Huangmei Season has just passed and it’s getting hotter day by day. You didn’t inform me two days earlier so that I could tidy up the house and put away the quilts and sheets.”
Shaitai, you just said yesterday that you are in such a hurry that the house has not been tidied up, and I don’t know if my uncle can get used to it. "
"He can do it."
Grandma pulled Xinwei and said softly: "You are a coquettish child in the city. I'm afraid that I will treat you badly if I neglect you."
Qiao Xinwei smiled and said: "It's okay, he is a soldier and can endure hardships."
After hearing this, grandma felt happy again, "It's good to be able to endure hardship. This girl is lucky."
"Haha, grandma, are you in good health?"
"Okay, I can live for a few more years without any disease or pain. I'm still waiting for you all to have babies and call me A Tai."
Grandfather and grandson were walking together talking and laughing. They had not seen each other for four or five years. They were particularly affectionate. Jiang Hao was walking behind carrying something. With him around, there was no reason to let women carry things. They walked slowly, and he
I followed behind silently, taking a look at what was there along the way. Although the place is small, there are so many things, including all kinds of weird things.
In the water towns of Jiangnan, houses are built along the river. The eaves of every house extend out and are connected together. When walking by the river, you don't need to hold an umbrella even if it rains.
We met several groups of tourists along the way. As we walked, my grandma said: "In recent years, the government has been promoting tourism in our area. The old houses have become valuable. Broken and leaky places are repaired for free, and workers often come to maintain them." The old man said with interest.
He was very tall. As he spoke, he introduced Jiang Hao, "Uncle, when you get home, put down your things and rest, let Xinwei take you around."
"Okay, grandma."
Grandma leaned into Qiao Xinwei's ear again and whispered: "He is quite kind, not bad... Well, the more I look at him, the better he gets. He is upright and classy."
Jiang Hao's face was full of doubts. He knew they were discussing him, but he was too embarrassed to interrupt and asked, so he could only smile.
Qiao Xinwei covered her mouth and smiled, the bright sunshine here shining directly into her heart.
After walking in the alley for about ten minutes, I arrived at my grandmother's house. The door was really not big. Once the two of them stood on the threshold, there was no room. But when the door opened, Jiang Hao was a little shocked. There was a courtyard and a main hall inside.
There are also east and west wing rooms, which are comparable to the old courtyard houses in the capital.
Qiao Xinwei stepped in and her eyes lit up, "Wow, the yard is so beautifully built. Grandma, the sweet-scented osmanthus tree has been planted again. It's great. Wow, what a beautiful garden."
Grandma said happily: "Isn't that right? There is still a gate that has not been repaired. To widen the gate, the wall needs to be demolished. They dare not move. They are still thinking of plans. When the gate is repaired, my place is a tourist attraction. You can get a good reward if you come in.
Tickets."
"Ah?" After the surprise, he was even more surprised, "Grandma, this old house...has been returned to the government?"
Grandma smiled and said, "Silly girl, it's not like I gave you this for free. All the houses in Shuibei were taken away by the government, so I made a condition, that is, I have to live here. I have lived here all my life, and I don't want to end up here."
It will take a few years to adapt to the new place. Once the tourist attractions are built, there will be more people. I have to watch my house...Jiang Hao, come on, put it down, you will be tired from holding it."
Grandma said that there was nothing prepared at home. She was really kind. Everything was ready at home, just waiting for them to come.
"There are too many things. I am very happy when you come. I don't have to bring anything and it takes up space."
"Grandma, this is your grandson-in-law's honor to you. I won't let him come empty-handed."
"Okay, you guys should rest first. You can still stay in your mother's old room. If you need anything, buy it now. I'll go to Lao Ma's place next door, Grandpa Ma's place. I'll have lunch in his restaurant. You can come over after you finish cleaning."
"Hey, okay."
Grandma went out again. Qiao Xinwei led Jiang Hao back to the room. This trip back was really profitable. The old house was even cleaner than the hotel. The corner that used to be dark and full of spiders now has an antique carved lamp.
Wall lamps have a unique flavor.
The room was still the same as before, but it seemed even bigger after moving some debris. The bed was covered with cool bamboo mats, and you could see the canal when you opened the window. Even Jiang Hao couldn't help but praise: "It's not early.
Your grandma's house is so comfortable, you should have come here a long time ago." He picked up the piece of paper on the desk and said curiously, "Hey, there is also wifi here, it's so advanced."
He took off his shoes and went to the bamboo mat. He was used to sleeping on a hard bed in the military camp. It was not unnatural to sleep on this solid wooden bed. "You are tired, come here and have a rest first."
Qiao Xinwei also went up, pillowed his arm and said, "Jiang Hao, can we visit grandma every year from now on?"
"Okay, grandma is old, so she should be." He pressed a kiss on her forehead gently, "Does grandma live alone?"
"Well, she didn't want to leave Shuibei. Things weren't so good here before. The transportation was inconvenient and the house was old. If it leaked or collapsed, we had to repair it ourselves. The humidity near the river is heavy. When it rains and the river rises, it can flood the house.
, uncle and mother have tried to persuade her several times, but she refuses to leave."
Jiang Hao turned over and pressed her under him, and said emotionally: "This place is full of her memories, how could she be willing to leave."
"What do you want to do in broad daylight? Hey, you're covered in sweat and it stinks like hell. Get out of here."
Jiang Hao said: "Smelly? This is called manliness," he pressed forward with his whole body and repeatedly emphasized, "Manliness, manliness, do you understand?"
Qiao Xinwei pushed his chest and was out of breath, "Cough, cough, cough, it's so heavy, go away, it's almost crushed."
"Is it flat? Let me check."
"Rogue, don't touch me."
"Haha, I just checked to see if it's been flattened. Well, it seems a bit flat."
"I hate it, go away."
In the evening, the heat gradually receded, and when the wind blew, it felt cooler. Qiao Xinwei took Jiang Hao around Shuibei. Many places were newly renovated and became tourist attractions just because of their names.
Even Qiao Xinwei didn't recognize it, so she turned around and said, "You can see for yourself, I don't know either."
As the weather cools down, Shuibei becomes more lively, especially the square under the Long Bridge, which has become a favorite among aunties.
"You are the most beautiful cloud in my sky, let me keep you with my heart, stay..."
Such a familiar melody, the divine song of square dance.
After wandering for a long time, they sat and rested on the beautiful women on the shore, which was very comfortable.
This is a place where people can really calm down. Jiang Hao looked at Qiao Xinwei. The haze on her face was finally replaced by a smile. It was only today that he saw her real smile, so beautiful and charming.
. He hugged her from behind, rested his chin on her shoulder, looked at the calm river, and said quietly: "I'm sorry, I have always made you feel wronged."
Qiao Xinwei smiled nonchalantly, "Take these three words back. What you have to do is not to say these three words to me, but to solve the people and things that have made me wronged as soon as possible." She was also more direct,
Since this marriage cannot be divorced, she can only face those chaotic struggles bravely, and she can only bear these grievances silently.
Jiang Hao retracted his arms and hugged her tighter, promising: "I won't care about her after the operation."
"What about the rest of the rehabilitation treatment? Can you bear the thought of her coming to you when she's sick or in pain?"
"I'm not a doctor, why would she come to me when she's sick or in pain?"
"Of course you are speaking lightly now. I really can't refuse you if I meet you."
"No, I said I don't care, so I don't care."
"Well... don't talk about this, okay? I want to sit quietly for a while." Qiao Xinwei leaned back and leaned directly on his strong and warm chest. It would be great if this moment could be frozen. If it could last forever
It would be great to stay in this comfortable and cozy Jiangnan town.
At this moment, a phone ringing broke the tranquility of the moment. Jiang Hao took out his cell phone and glanced at Qiao Xin's only eyes in embarrassment.
"Answer it, who else can call at this time besides Xiao Tianai?" She really hates the look in his eyes, with innocent apology, but she has to answer it. She feels that she will collapse sooner or later.
Jiang Hao moved his body and answered the phone, "Hey, what's going on?"
"Ah Hao, I moved back home. I am not so bored at home. The time for playing the piano has passed in no time."
"That's good."
"I recently watched a food show and my hands were itchy and I wanted to try it myself. I asked my aunt to buy an oven and send some to you when it's ready."
"Stop being busy and take care of yourself."
"It's okay, just to kill time. It doesn't take much effort. I didn't do it often before. You still like to eat... Where are you?"
"I'm with Xinwei at her grandma's house, coming out to relax."
"Oh, okay, then I won't disturb you, 88."
"88."
Jiang Hao hung up the phone. He felt something was different about Qiao Xinwei. She was no longer interested in the content of Xiao Tianai's phone call, or she just didn't care anymore. He didn't know if this was a good thing or a bad thing. But
, seeing her leaning on the wooden railing and looking at the river in a daze, he felt sad, faintly sad.
